Boke Showa These are a special kind of Showa Sanshoku that have a different pattern on their black markings. The black spots on Boke Showa look like they are fading or blurring, which gives them a cool and unique look. Boke Showa have the same colors as regular Showa: black, red, and white. But the black color, or sumi, is not as clear and sharp as on other Showa. Instead, the sumi on Boke Showa is more diffuse and soft, creating a “boke” effect. The word “boke” means “blur” in Japanese, and that’s why these Koi are called Boke Showa. No two Boke Showa are exactly alike. The amount and intensity of the boke can vary from fish to fish, making each one special and unique. Some Boke Showa have more boke than others, and some have more contrast between the sumi and the other colors. Boke Showa koi are very popular among koi lovers because they are different and interesting. They add a lot of personality and charm to any pond or water garden. If you want to have some Boke Showa koi in your collection, you should look for them at reputable koi dealers or breeders. They are a rare and beautiful variation of the Showa Sanshoku variety.
